Researchers at Purdue University, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, and Theiss Research have developed a memory cell with multiple layers of two-dimensional material stacks.
The researchers tested molybdenum ditelluride because of its potential to be both faster and more reliable than other materials due to its unique switching mechanism. Molybdenum ditelluride allows a system to switch more quickly between 0 and 1, potentially increasing the speed of storing and retrieving information.
Said Purdue's Joerg Appenzeller, "Logic and interconnects drain battery too, so the advantage of an entirely two-dimensional architecture is more functionality within a small space and better communication between memory and logic."
